What Tests Are Carried Out

Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) encompasses various types of tests to ensure the safety and functionality of electrical appliances.
Here are the different types of PAT testing:

  • Visual Inspection
    • Examining the appliance, plug, and cable for visible damage.
    • Checking for signs of wear and tear.
  • Earth Continuity Test
    • Verifying that the earth connection is effective.
    • Measuring the resistance between the appliance’s earth pin and any exposed metal parts.
  • Insulation Resistance Test
    • Ensuring that the insulation around live parts is adequate.
    • Measuring the resistance between live parts and earth.
  • Polarity Check
    • Confirming that the wiring of the appliance is correct.
    • Ensuring the live, neutral, and earth wires are connected to the appropriate terminals.
  • Earth Leakage Test
    • Measuring the amount of current that leaks to the earth.
    • Ensuring leakage is within safe limits.
  • Load Test
    • Measuring the power consumption of the appliance under normal operating conditions.
    • Checking for abnormalities in power usage.
  • Functional Check
    • Testing the appliance to ensure it operates as intended.
    • Checking all functions and controls.
  • RCD (Residual Current Device) Test

Each type of PAT test is crucial for ensuring the safety and proper operation of electrical appliances, and the specific tests conducted may vary depending on the appliance and its usage environment.
